this is a follow up email regarding my car 2007 toyota rav 4 FWD 4 cylinder ; oil consumption of this model is too much 1 quart every 250 - 300 miles. Toyota already know and acknowledge the problem but with my case when I went to the dealer they just told me that it passed the test. If NHTSA will help us voice our concern maybe toyota will consider this to become a recall

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING OIL QUICKLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WOULD ADD A QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

VEHICLE CONSUMES HIGH AMOUNTS OF OIL. I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND 300 MILES PER WEEK IT CONSUMES AROUND A QUART AND A HALF. ALSO THE ENGINE IS LOSING COMPRESSION. ALSO THE ENGINE IS LOSING COMPRESSION

THIS CAR BURNS ENGINE OIL DRAMATICALLY. I DID MY OIL CHANGE AT JIFFY LUBE AND I HALF WAY THRU TO THE NEXT OIL CHANGE THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME AND WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM THEY HAD TO ADD ALMOST 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I THINK THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS AND THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME WE CHANGE OIL. WE GOT THE VEHICLE IN FEB 2019

OIL BURNING. MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL BURNING. A QUART EVERY 200 500 MILES ON AVERAGE.

SIGNIFICANT BURNING OF ENGINE OIL, ALMOST NOTHING APPEAR ON THE DEEP STICK WHEN I CHECK IT, NO LEAKED OR WHAT SO EVER FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE.

TOYOTA USES A SOY FOOD BASED PRODUCT IN THE INSULATION OF THE ENGINE WIRING. APPARENTLY IT ATTRACTS MICE THAT CHEW ON THE WIRING. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO START MISFIRING FROM THE DAMAGE AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED RUNNING. THIS WAS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS. THE DAMAGE COST ME $1,000 TO REPAIR. THESE CRUCIAL WIRES SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE FROM A PRODUCT THAT IS FOOD FOR MICE. I UNDERSTAND FROM THE TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS IS NOW A COMMON PROBLEM. MY CAR WAS ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT STALLED OUT. HOWEVER, MOST MILES ARE ON FREEWAYS.

MY VEHICLE HAVE A SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, IT BURNS OIL AT A RATE OF 1 QUART PER 250-500 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED IN 2016 BY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS EVEN THOUGH IT FIT THE MODEL YEARS OF THE BULLETIN. *TR

2.4 LITER ENGINE HAD BEEN BURNING 1 QUART OF OIL EACH 800 TO 1000 MILES, AND HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WITH 192,000 A NICE CAR OTHERWISE HAS BEEN BURNING 1 1/2 TO 2 QUARTS EVERY 800 TO 1000 MILES. THIS HAS ADVERSELY EFFECTED SPARK PLUGS, OXYGEN SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. TOYOYTA TEST THE CAR IN 2016 BUT DEEMED THE PROBLEM AS ACCEPTABLE, BUT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE PISTONS AND RINGS, WHICH THEY HAVE SINCE ADMITTED IS A DESIGN FLAW. THESE ENGINES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE DESIGN FLAW CORRECTED.

FOR ENGINE, IT HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I NEED TO ADD 1 QTR OF OIL AFTER 1.5K MILES DRIVE. FOR STEERING, IT MAKES CRACKING SOUNDS WHEN HAVING TURN THE STEERING IN A SLOW MOTION DRIVE BACKING UP FROM GARAGE.

IN 2015 OR 2016 TOYOTA SENT ME A LETTER TELLING ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK UP BECAUSE IT WAS BURNING OIL BUT THAT LETTER HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE WHICH DID NOT REALIZE I THOUGHT IT WAS A RECALL SO I TOOK THE CAR TO CHECK AND THEY STARTED A PROCESS THE CAR FAILED ALL THE TESTS THAT THEY DID AND BY THE END THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE LETTER HAD EXPIRED. WHICH THAT IS NOT RIGHT FOR ME WHAT I NEED FROM TOYOTA IS IF THEY CAN OPEN THAT PROGRAM ONE MORE TIME SO THEY CAN FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL AND IT HARDLY HAS 50,000 MILES

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL IN SHORT AMOUNTS OF TIME . MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

MY 2007 RAV4 BURNS EXCESS ENGINE OIL AND BY THE TIME. AFTER ABOUT 2000 MILES I WOULD GET THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT AND NO OIL IS LEFT IN THE ENGINE.

I OWN A 2007 RAV 4, 110,000 MILES AND I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY BEGAN TO DRIVE AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WANT TO KNOW IF I CAN FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA.. I JUST READ IN THE PAST TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT EARLIER MODELS THAT THE ECM RUINED THE TRAN MISSION IN RAV 4S..

VEHICLE CONSUMES OR BURNS EXCESSIVE OIL. ENGINE IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE ROAD.

I BELONG TO MANY TOYOTA CAR FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY OTHER CARS MY YEAR MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION MAY LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE

MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV4, 113,000 MILES, IS EXPERIENCING SERIOUS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA FIRST ACKNOWLEDGED THIS VEHICLE HAD AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IN 2011 WHEN IT ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0094-11) . I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED. IN 2014, TOYOTA WAS THEN THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY TOYOTA OWNERS WHO ALLEGED CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TOYOTA ENTERED INTO A SETTLEMENT. IN 2015, TOYOTA OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIRS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY "REPAIRED." IN RECENT MONTHS, THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. AT ONE POINT, I HEARD ODD ENGINE NOISES. I WAS ALARMED TO SEE THE OIL LEVEL WAS SO LOW THAT IT DIDN'T REGISTER, DESPITE THE FACT I HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE A FEW WEEKS EARLIER. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 9/10/2018 AND I WAS...

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ON THIS VEHICLE IS UNACCEPTED, TOYOTA KNEW THIS PROBLEMS AND SHOULD MAKE A RECALL YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS ISSUE

MY TOYOTA RAV4 (2007) STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE OIL COMBUSTION. I STARTED HAVING OIL CHANGES EVERY 2-3K MILES. 1200 MILES AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO A LACK OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A CONVENIENCE STORE WHEN IT DIED. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE ISSUE IS KNOWN AND THEIR IS A TSB THAT WAS ISSUED TO DEALERSHIPS.

ON JULY 24, 2018; I CONTACTED TEMECULA VALLEY TOYOTA REGARDING MY 2007 TOYOTA RAV 4 WITH 122,00 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED THEM TO SPEAK REGARDING THE EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL THAT MY VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY USING. I HAVE BEEN DILIGENT ABOUT BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR ALL RECALLS AND HAVE INQUIRED EACH TIME IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED ON MY VEHICLE. BEFORE CONTACTING TOYOTA, I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF ANY OTHER VEHICLES WERE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. IT WAS TITLED THE ECONOMIC LOSS CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. IT READS THAT TOYOTA RAV 4 WITH THE YEARS 2006-2008 RAV 4 SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO BE REPAIRED IF THEY ARE BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR WITHIN 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. IT DOES NOT STATE WHICHEVER IS LESS....

THE MOTOR MOUNT ARE BROKE FROM CORROSION. AND MY MUFFLER WAS REPLACED FOR THE SAME THIS...

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE AUTOBAHN IN GERMANY (MIL FAMILY) WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. OUR OIL LEVEL WAS FINE THE DAY BEFORE WE STALLED. WE CHECK OUR OIL EVERY WEEKEND SINCE OUR RAV4 HAS A VERY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION RATE. OUR EGGINE SEIZED WHILE WE WERE GOING ABOUT 90 MPH WITH OTHER CARS AROUND US GOING EVEN FASTER. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE NOT CAUSED AN FATAL ACCIDENT. WE WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS.

MY RAV4 TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AS OIL LIGHT CAME ON, HOWEVER, TRUCK WAS NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AS SERVICE WAS DONE MAY 2018. TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS BURNING OIL AND REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF PISTONS INSIDE ENGINE. AT THAT TIME, I WAS INFORMED THAT UNDER THE EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION WARRANTY, IT WOULD BE COVERED AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED FOR MY TRUCK AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE BY TOYOTA. HOWEVER, REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE TRUCK NEVER INDICATED A PROBLEM AND NO MENTION OF THIS ISSUE WAS EVER ADDRESSED BY THE TECHNICIANS. A YEAR AGO THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AND NOW MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS BEING COMPROMISED. OF COURSE, ENGINE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EVEN THOUGH REGULAR OIL CHANGES WERE BEING DONE. JUST BECAUSE...

MY CAR BURNS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I GET REGULAR CHANGES AT GOODYEAR. I TOOK IT IN TO TOYOTA WOLFCHASE MEMPHIS FOR NOT 1 BUT 2 RECALLS AND ASKED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT WAS BURNING. THEY INFORMED ME THIS VEHICLE PER VIN# HAD A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT ON IT B/C PISTON DOES NOT SIT PROPERLY AND THAT IS WHY THE LARGE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME I WAS "TOO LATE" THAT IT EXPIRED 5/6 MONTHS PRIOR. I MADE THEM AWARE I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND THEY SAID THEIR HANDS WERE TIED. NOTHING THEY, TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. COULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA AND A REP SAID IT WAS NOT THE LAW TO LEGALLY NOTIFY ME OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT SINCE I WAS NOT ORIGINAL OWNER. AFTER MUCH DISAGREEMENT I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR WHO CALLED ME BACK AND INFORMED ME LEGALLY THERE WAS NOTHING...

OIL CONSUMPTION, USES A LOT OF OIL AND HAVE KEEP CHECKING AND ADDING FREQENTLY

IN DEC 2014 MY CAR EXHAUST WAS LOUDER THAN USUAL, THE REPAIR SHOP NOTED THAT THE FRONT CENTER CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS RUSTED AND PERFORATED AND REPLACE IT AT AT COST OF $1844.11. IN JAN 2017 TOYOTA ISSUED SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN G0Y REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE, CLAIMING IT WILL EITHER FIX RUSTED SYSTEMS OR REIMBURSE THOSE WHOSE SYSTEMS WERE ALREADY RUSTED AND REPLACED. I SUBMITTED MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, RESPONDED FOR A REQUEST FOR MORE PAPERWORK, AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY DENIED WITHOUT EXPLANATION. TODAY WHEN I CALLED FOR MORE INFO, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DECISION CANNOT BE APPEALED (NFI). SHE FINALLY SAID THAT THE REPAIR SHOP NOTE DID NOT MENTION RUST. WHEN I POINTED OUT IT SAID HOLES, SHE WAS UNMOVED AND SAID THEIR DECISION IS FINAL. THIS IS DISHONEST AND RIPPING OFF CUSTOMERS. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. I BELIEVE I FULLY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AS SPELLED...

AT 94K MILES MY CAR STARTED BURNING ALOT OF OIL, AND I AM TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT THIS IS NORMAL?? EVERY 1200 MILES I AM ADDING AT LEAST 1 1/4 QT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ENGINE ISSUE- BUT REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT!

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION RELATING TO TOYOTA'S WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION - ZE7. I KNEW MY ENGINE CONSUMED OIL CHRONICALLY SINCE AT LEAST 75,000 MILES SO WAS NOT SURPRISED WHEN THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT CAME IN THE MAIL. HOWEVER, WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET TESTED, THEY SAID IT PASSED THE TEST (THIS WAS IN APRIL 2015 AT ABOUT 135,000 MILES). I WAS FRUSTRATED AND SHOCKED. I THOUGHT I WAS STUCK WITH NO OTHER OPTIONS. RECENTLY, WHEN ADDING OIL I NOTICED I WENT THROUGH 2-2.5 QUARTS IN A WEEK. THAT'S WHEN I INSISTED ON ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IT FAILED THIS TIME, BUT ACCORDING TO TOYOTA, IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THEM TO COVER AS I WAS OVER THE TERM OF 150,000 MILES (CASE #1803133073). I ASKED FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES SINCE I BELIEVED THE ORIGINAL TEST TO BE FLAWED (ALLOWING FOR 1-1.5 QUARTS OF OIL CONSUMPTION WHEN THE OWNER'S MANUAL...

ENGINE OIL LEAKS & VIBRATION COME FROM THE ENGINE WHEN YOU BRAKE

OUR 2007 RAV4 IS CONSUMING/BURNING OIL AT AN EXTREME RATE. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. WE ARE ADDING A QUART EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. WE HAD THE DEALERSHIP PERFORM THEIR "TEST" (THREE TIMES) WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT OVER A YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD OUR VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA TO BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. (RECORDS WILL SHOW THAT PRIOR TO THE RECALL EVEN COMING OUT, WE HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION...SO WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT WE HOPED IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.) WE WERE SHOCKED WHEN WE WERE TOLD IT DIDN'T "QUALIFY". WE HAVE JUST CONTINUED ADDING OIL...THEN IN AUGUST OF 2017 WE SPENT NEARLY $2,800 TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE THAT WE HOPED WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. TO OUR SURPRISE, THE OIL HAS BEEN DEPLETING AT AN EVEN FASTER RATE THAN BEFORE! SO...

BURNING MULTIPLE QUARTS OF OIL OVER SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES OF NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. 1000 MILE DRIVE RESULTS IN BEING 1.5-2 QUARTS LOW.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, I AM ADDING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 10 - 13 DAYS ABOUT 300 - 400 MILE IN BETWEEN I WENT FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST 2 TIMES THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT PASSED THE TEST BUT STILL THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL
